There are a number of good reasons why our clients turn to us.
The Australian regulations state that the polluter pays. This may be the owner of the site or business. If they can't pay then the notional owner can be held liable such as the lender or superannuation fund. Even selling a contaminated site does not get rid of the liability. If the purchaser goes bust or can't pay, the law says that the regulators can look to the previous owner. Environmental Earth Sciences can inform you of these potential liabilities.
A site owner may want to know what additional costs may be associated with redeveloping a site or acquiring a property. Environmental Earth Sciences can report and advise costs on the treatment of contaminated soil, cleaning up of groundwater, managing vapours in the soil or removing hazardous building materials such as asbestos and the rectification of poor business practice.
Our clients have invested in developing a good corporate image and it is critical to avoid situations that result in bad publicity. Environmental Earth Sciences suite of services assists our clients in maintaining their corporate responsibilities.
Through the process of identifying our client's key issues, developing risk scenarios and evaluating potential liabilities we are able to outline actions to manage the liabilities, provide cost estimates as well as provide the machinery and technologies to implement the actions.
